I Hear You

Oh, Readers, you make my day. Really! You make me laugh, you kick me in the pants, you pick me up when I get knocked around, and you stick with me through it all. I realize a lot of you have been unable or unwilling to comment via the new system. I have the same problem as well - I used to be able to answer you via comments or even comment on my fellow bloggers, but now that I have to log into my Facebook account to do it, I don't dare. Obviously, my Facebook account is under my real name, so you won't see me answering you via comments that way.

Please know that I do read every single thing you write to me, and every piece of advice is duly noted and in most cases, right on point. I consider all of you to be treasured friends. I also know that I have many real-life friends who read me as well (hi everyone!), and their support on this forum means the world to me.

And now I head into another weekend of being a single-mom, and it's all good. The kids and I are seeing "Beauty and the Beast" in 3D on Saturday, Anna has decided to join Girl Scouts (God help me, that means Girl Scout Cookies galore), David told me he wants to learn to cook, and Beatrix the Cat will most likely barf on the carpet. Oh well, you can't win 'em all.

So now I need to pick your brain. What's a good, simple recipe with easy steps that I can use with David in his cooking lesson? I'm thinking cookies, probably. Or maybe homemade pizza. What do you think?
